12 x 12 Oil on board
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
Another in my deconstructed series. Still experimenting and finding my stride in this new series, but I have endless ideas and not enough time to paint. This is a good exercise in slowing me down, a lot more planning and thinking about painting.

Another of my new abstract "Decontructed" series. I am not sure this is finished, I wasn't totally happy with paint application and need to redo a few spots. I am still trying different canvas options, also. I think this type of work will be better with gessobord, but am interested in exploring.

11 x 14 Oil on linen panel SOLD
email: mcary1@maine.rr.com
This is a new direction I am exploring. Here is my first example, I am developing a theme of abstract paintings of subjects I am labeling, "deconstructed". To break down a subject, or dissect an image. I am excited with the possibilities, as I have been underwhelmed with my recent work. I was a graphic artist in college, so this is more in keeping with how I think and see art, in a more graphic way with strong, bolder shapes. My paintings are taking more consideration and longer painting periods. I am hoping for the best!!! More to come........

About Me

Welcome, my name is Mary Anne Cary. I presently live in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, a small town just outside of Portland that sits abutting the frigid North Atlantic. A former graphic artist, I have been interested in art throughout my life and I am excited to finally step into the world of blogging as a way of broadening my horizons. My history as an artist has gone through many phases, I have experimented with many mediums and most recently have concentrated on oils and pastels. I particularly enjoy painting landscapes and still-life, but find it fascinating to work abstractly as well. I have been inspired by all the daily painters and look forward to the growth each one expresses from working daily. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my artwork, pricing or if you are interested in purchasing anything you see. Additionally, you may visit my website to see more oil and pastels pieces.
